It is the most lightweight and portable of the three size models. This telescope is especially at home as a solid platform for long exposure photography with optional CCD cameras or photographic equipment. At 8 inches of aperture with our premium StarBright XLT coatings, the CGX 800 gives you over 800 times the light gathering power than the unaided eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCGX Mount\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelestron’s workhorse CGEM mount lineup has been the German Equatorial backbone for telescopes ranging from 6 to 11 inches of aperture. Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved. Celestron’s engineering team applied their years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts to the all-new CGX EQ, a culmination of all the advancements made to our technologies, value, and ease-of-use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new CGX was designed to better support your telescope for both visual and astro-imaging pursuits. Key design goals included a lower profile EQ head, which provides a more compact and therefore more stable setup; a better drive system; remote operation-friendly with home and limit optical sensors; easier polar alignment adjustments; and better cable management. In addition to that, we’ve made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and transport. The CGX is our new Equatorial backbone to support a wide range of telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComputerized Mount Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-new design.

Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved. Celestron’s engineering team applied their years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts to the all-new CGX EQ, a culmination of all the advancements made to our technologies, value, and ease-of-use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new CGX was designed to better support your telescope for both visual and astro-imaging pursuits. Key design goals included a lower profile EQ head, which provides a more compact and therefore more stable setup; a better drive system; remote operation-friendly with home and limit optical sensors; easier polar alignment adjustments; and better cable management. In addition to that, we’ve made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and transport.

Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved.

While this may be acceptable for some visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with the flat chip sensor of a digital camera. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs.

Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved.

In addition to that, we’ve made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and transport.

While this may be acceptable for some visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with the flat chip sensor of a digital camera. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.celestron.com\/pages\/edgehd-optics\"\u003eLearn more about EdgeHD technology.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to EdgeHD’s optimized optical design, the telescope tube has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirror clutches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when taking long exposure astro-images.

Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved. Celestron’s engineering team applied their years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts to the all-new CGX EQ, a culmination of all the advancements made to our technologies, value, and ease-of-use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new CGX was designed to better support your telescope for both visual and astro-imaging pursuits. Key design goals included a lower profile EQ head, which provides a more compact and therefore more stable setup; a better drive system; remote operation-friendly with home and limit optical sensors; easier polar alignment adjustments; and better cable management. In addition to that, we’ve made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and transport. The CGX is our new Equatorial backbone to support a wide range of telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eComputerized Mount Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-new design.

The design consists of a Schmidt corrector, primary mirror, lens group, and optical window. The lens group contains 4 elements and utilizes rare-earth elements. Unlike many telescopes that only perform well over the visible spectrum (400-700nm), the 8” RASA’s optics are designed to perform over a wider spectral range, from 390-800nm. This allows more of the light emitted from the astronomical object to be sharply focused in the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith many imaging systems, adding an extra piece of flat glass such as a filter does not change optical performance. However, that is not the case with super-fast optical systems like the RASA. Our engineers addressed this by designing the RASA with a removeable optical window, so you can maintain peak optical performance if a filter is added or if a camera has its own optical window. Celestron offers a Light Pollution Imaging Filter designed specifically for the 8” RASA, which mounts in place of the optical window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll refractive optical surfaces are coated with StarBright XLT coatings, while the primary mirror uses enhanced aluminum coatings. This maintains high light transmission through the entire optical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen compared with “Hyperstar SCT” systems, the RASA 8 provides better optical performance and field illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-specs-list\" class=\"table-open\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOPTICAL TUBE INFO:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody id=\"spec-block-1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAperture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e203 mm (8\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 mm (15.74\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ef\/2.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCentral obstruction diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93 mm (3.66\") (46% of aperture diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering Power (Compared to human eye)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e843x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution (Rayleigh)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.68 arc seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution (Dawes)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.57 arc seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImage Circle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 mm (.86\") Ø, 3.15°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUseable field\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 mm (1.26\") Ø, 4.6°, only minimal performance loss at edge of FOV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWavelength range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e390 - 800 nm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpot size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;

A fixed position primary mirror eliminates image shift that occurs from focusing with other telescope designs. The iOptron RC8 comes with a 2\" dual-speed linear-bearing Crayford focuser. Three focuser extension rings are provided for a “flex-free” solid extension as a means to take up any unneeded back focus. Its steel tube is equipped with 10 knife edge baffles to diminish contrast reducing stray light, improving the instrument in both visual and imaging uses.

catadioptric mini astrograph (minigraph) available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sky-Watcher Honders Advanced Catadioptric (HAC) telescope is a sophisticated, high-speed astrograph designed for fast, wide-field imaging in a compact package. Unlike other small refractor astrographs, the HAC125DX features a lightning-fast f\/2 focal ratio allowing you to capture images 5x faster than a standard f\/4.9 optic. With this kind of speed that means more data in less time and no need to autoguide!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the original HAC125 the HAC125DX features a rear focusing mechanism on the primary. This allows for a wider range of cameras to be used compared to the original model and makes focusing easier when the telescope is in use. While small, at only 15.7-inches long the HAC125DX offers a powerful imaging platform for both beginners and advanced imagers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe telescope features a 16mm image circle which is ideal for IMX533 and 585 and smaller cameras. \u003cstrong\u003e(We've found the \u003cem\u003euseful\u003c\/em\u003e image circle smaller than specified, so cameras with a full 16mm diagonal, like the ASI 183 and the 533, will need some cropping for pinpoint stars.

Fast optics and small size make it easier to get out and enjoy the hobby you love. Attach it to your favorite portable mount and you are ready to capture the universe in virtually no time at all!
